a 28-page exposé focusing on the role of Israel’s government, military, and related corporations and organizations in a global industry of violence and repression. The booklet also shows that the states most involved with this industry profit from perpetual war and occupation across the globe while maintaining vastly unequal societies of their own.The pamphlet formed the basis of a 4-hour assembly on the role of Israel and Zionism in worldwide repression of social movements and communities of color. The assembly was held at the Social Forum in Porto Alegre. Throughout the assembly, which featured testimony from Brazil, Colombia, Argentina, South Africa, the U.S., Canada and Germany, we built relationships with activists in several parts of the world, particularly South America, which will help to expand the scope and reach of the project of documenting and exposing the specifics of Israel’s historical and ongoing role in worldwide repression. Sometestimony from this meeting will be on line soon. After the forum, we shared this project with activists in Argentina and Venezuela, who responded with interest in partnering on the project. In the coming months, we hope to work with our partners to evolve this assembly into rolling tribunals located in different communities around the world impacted by Zionism.
